[Intro ] Another year, another page A little older, still the same I said I'd do it all someday But someday keeps getting farther away [Verse 1] The plans I made at twenty-three Are still the things I barely see I work all week, I pay my bills The plans I made at twenty-three Are still the things I barely see I work all week, I pay my bills And tell myself I've got time still My friends have changed, my parents age My face looks different in every frame I used to think the world was mine Now weekends disappear in no time [Pre-Chorus] How did the months go by so fast? When did the best days become the past? I keep on saying, "Not today" While another piece of me slips away [Chorus ] Run! Run! I'm running out! Wake me up before I burn out! Day by day, it takes its share Of all the dreams I meant to dare Hey! Hey! I want my life! Not just the days I leave behind! If I have one chance left to choose I'll live before I've got nothing to lose! I'll live before I've got nothing to lose! [Verse 2 — Driving Bass Groove] There were places I should have gone People I should have held on to Words I thought I'd say someday Now some of them have moved away I keep my wishes on a shelf Always waiting for a better time But money, work, and one more excuse Keep stealing years I can't get back [Pre-Chorus] How many chances can I waste? How many years can I replace? I can't rewind, I can't restart And every second leaves a mark [Chorus] Run! Run! I'm running out! Wake me up before I burn out! Day by day, it takes its share Of all the dreams I meant to dare Hey! Hey! I want my life! Not just the days I leave behind! If I have one chance left to choose If I have one chance left to choose I'll live before I've got nothing to lose! [Bridge] I don't need to be twenty again I just don't want to wonder when I had the chance to change my way But let another year slip away No more waiting for the stars to align No perfect moment, no perfect time This beating heart won't last forever So I'll start now, not someday, never [Instrumental Break ] [Bridge] No more someday! No more delay! My life is happening TODAY! [Final Chorus] Run! Run! I'm not giving in! Wake me up, let my life begin! Take the years, they won't come back But I can choose the road I have! Hey! Hey! I'm still alive! There's more to me than passing time! If I have one chance left to choose I'll LIVE before I've got nothing to lose! [Outro] Another year... Another day... Not this time. NOT TODAY!
